A Poem :: Comic Shop Mystery
Beneath a gaslight's lonely gleam,
"The Inky Path," a comic shop unseen.
I pushed inside, a world of paper dreams,
Dust motes danced in slanted light's thin stream.
A bearded man, with eyes like shadowed wells,
Sat hunched behind the counter, stories clinging tight.
He gave a silent nod, as past him I propelled,
To vibrant tales, a papery, wondrous sight.
The man spoke finally, voice a gravelly croak,
"Lost, are you, son?" Secrets in his words did choke.
That dusty shop, with shadows playing host,
Held whispered truths, at what unseen cost?
